With Our Thanks 2007

We are pleased to present the results of this month’s poll in answer to the question,

“What are you most thankful for?” Some of the responses were funny, some were

humbling, many were about family, friends, and health. At this time we’d like to offer

OUR thanks -- to you -- for the work you do each day, for the friendship and care you

provide, and for the laughter and memories you create for all of us each and every day.

We hope you enjoy this first installment of what we hope will become an annual

feature. Happy Holidays!
